Former member of Congress, Bob Clement (D-TN) releases his memoir
"Presidents, Kings and Convicts: My Journey from the Tennessee Governor's Residence to the Halls of Congress," shares Clement's front row seat to some of America's most significant events and the people who shaped them.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- "Presidents, Kings, and Convicts: My Journey from the Tennessee Governor's Residence to the Halls of Congress," co-authored by Dava Guerin and Pete Weichlein, offers an intriguing insider's view of some of America's most memorable events. Clement was either a witness to, or a participant in, seminal events such as desegregating the South, the Vietnam War, Reaganomics, and the 9/11 attacks. His incredible journey took him from growing up in the governor's mansion, to becoming a Publics Service Commissioner, Tennessee Valley Authority director, military officer and college president, to starting a business and serving in Congress for eight terms.
The book also examines: the current hyper-partisanship in politics today and offers solutions for fixing the country; Tennessee politics and growing up as the son of Governor Frank G. Clement; inside stories about country music legends and local, national and international politicians and events; what makes great leaders; and how to restore public service and politics as careers worth pursuing. In addition, at the end of each chapter are, "Clement's Contemplations," Clement's humorous musings about politics and life. "I decided to finally write a book to preserve for my family and all Americans what I've learned and experienced over my lifetime," Clement said. "My main goal is to restore faith in our political system and give people some insight into what it was like growing up as the son of a famous father. I hope to also encourage young people to not give up on our political system or the military, as well as consider getting involved in public service."
"I've known Bob for almost my entire life, from when we both were teenagers in Tennessee to the days when we worked together in Washington, D.C. We share a deep love of country, a trait that was obvious in Bob's tireless work for the people of Tennessee and the United States. His autobiography, Presidents, Kings and Convicts, gives readers an inside look into Bob's remarkable life from Nashville to our nation's Capital," said former Vice President Al Gore.
